The Great Give® Fundraising Cocktail Event
May 4, 2022 @ 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm
Great Give® Fundraising Cocktail Event featuring our current exhibition Cover Story II: Return To The Stacks
An Exhibition Celebrating Glorious Book Covers From Our Historic Collection
Open to All
May 4, 5-7 pm
Institute Library
847 Chapel Street
New Haven
The evening will feature:
· A delightful tour of the exhibit with the curator and board members
· Charming refreshments
· Cheerful and easy to navigate donation stations to benefit the gallery or the library in general
And, to round out the evening, an ingenious party game related to the exhibit!
Concocted last year for Cover Story I, this was a smash hit, with repeat requests to play “the Game” again. We will not disappoint.
What is The Great Give® and why are we throwing the live in-the-actual event?
The Great Give® is a 36 hour online giving event to support local non-profits. It takes place on May 4-5 with various prizes to add incentives and matching funds.
Our event is a part of The Great Give® May the Fourth Be With You Happy Hour Double Draw:
Two organizations will be randomly drawn to receive the May the Fourth Be With You Happy Hour Double Draw Prizes of $1,500 each. All organizations receiving at least one gift between 5:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. on May 4 are eligible. The more gifts an organization receives, the greater chance it has to be drawn!
We would be delighted to win this and with your support we CAN. Our volunteers will help make donating easier for the on-line giving novice, and we promise a warm library and gallery welcome. We love a good party.
